Default 32x11.50 on stock I know I know

Tons of threads for this but I want more opinions. 32x11.50 goodyear mt/r kevlars they have of tread almost new. I know they can go on my stock rims cause my bro has 32s on his and he only rubs when he turns real hard.. Now this is just a temp thing til I get my lift. 96 xj country btw.
Any recommendations on what I can do for now im talking this is for maybe a month if that.or should I just get coils,leafs and shocks with some drop shackles.and get the rest later???? I wanna go 4.5

You could trim your fenders, add bumpstops and steering stops for now if you want to be safe with those 32s at stock height.

Or you could just wait for everything (i.e. lift) and do it all at once.

My fenders are already trimmed.my brother has them on his stock jeep with no bump stops or anything.just put them on and he has no problems.I wouldn't be doing any wheeling really til the lift.

Sounds like you already made up your mind and Just want an OK to do what you want to do.. IMO, the lift is not the most important thing to upgrade in order to run the 32 tires. The GEARING is.
Fact is with enough trimming you can fit 35" tires with no lift. Of coure the rig will be slower than a turtle and only drive in straight lines. But it can be done.

Trim and bumpstop and it performs about the same as stock only you get better differential clearance and bigger tires.

You can fit 32s on stock, full turns it rubbed on the control arms and each bump it hit the fenders even after I cut and folded my front and rear. Id say save up cause it did cut lines in my tread of the tires.
